Mallayer / 28546

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 3" x 9' 5" and carries a restrained palette of neutral, brown, white, and cream. The long, narrow field is organized around repeating hexagonal medallions, geometric latticework, and layered border frames that give the composition a steady architectural rhythm. Visible fading and medium distress have softened the contrasts, allowing the surface to read with a quiet, worn tactility. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the graphic clarity and aged character associated with this Mallayer form. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
